The Chameleon game thread - Page 8 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Yes, no research imo.

I can run the next one. I'm going to be clue give for 2 games in Codenames, so it would be nice to not think about this one.

I'll give everyone the word list soon.

Sorry, I did not mean to give the impression that I thought that "low" itself was a nonsense word. My intention was to extremize the strategy of giving clues that had very low connectivity to the target word. I'm still trying to examine the game mathematically, and that struck me as an interesting strategy.

There were like four different clues I almost went with there, and I wasn't that happy with any of them

I just disliked the situation (& timing of making the rules decision after the tie occurred) & would have preferred a different option, whatever that may be.

Really doesn't matter, though & I'm cool with using whatever rules you guys want.

Strongest lean from clues is JM3, followed by Gad. What do you guys make it Gad's pre-reveal chatter?

I think it's super villagery

I only hope he didn't give too much away

It's not something you did as a villa in either of the other 2 games

Definitely true

But for the first two rounds I had a definite clue that came to mind and I stuck with; this time I tried to reason it through a little more deeply and it just made me indecisive

I don't feel like I've got the hang of this game yet, really

Wasn't going for anything witty. Just hoping to say the same thing as a couple other people & make it as hard for whoever the chameleon is now as it was for me.

I feel like most of these connections are over my head, but don't really feel like thinking about them.

Like I'm nervous now about even commenting on which other clues feel strong to me for fear of letting the chameleon piece things together

Of course, having said that, it would be worse if I became the main chameleon suspect myself, so I'll add that I think cut is a strong clue, I don't understand match, and there's something about JM3's clue that feels generic to me even if it's accurate

6 to 8, depending on how you classify china and crystal

I didn't expect 3 people to give the same clue last round. Of course, I didn't know the word last round.

I think it's probably just e_holle, though.
